Emma’s uncle is Ignacio (Nacho) Coronel—the “Steve Jobs” of Mexico, according to Anabel Hernández. “He saw the future,” she exuded. It was methamphetamine. Emma’s other family members working for the Sinaloa cartel included Ernesto Coronel Peña, Juan Jaime Coronel, Juan Ernesto Coronel Herrera, and Gael Carbel Aldana—all arrested in 2010, according to Daily Entertainment News, which has some of the most penetrating English-language coverage of Mexican drug cartels. “Emma Coronel Guzman—Joaquin El Chapo Guzman’s Wife,” Daily Entertainment News, February 24, 2014,

A minimum of 351,000 criminal immigrants are in prison in America (296,000 in state and local facilities, plus 55,000 in federal prisons).
Report to Congressional Requesters
, 7 and 10. Between 66 and 68 percent of them are Mexican. Ibid., 9 and 15. One percent of all criminal aliens have committed murder in the U.S. Ibid., 19–21, Figure 9 (showing percentage of criminal aliens arrested at least once by offense category). That adds up to a minimum of 23,000 murders in America committed by Mexicans—and legal immigrants weren’t even counted in state prisons, which is where most murderers reside.
